Where Shall we Meet for Coffee on Sunday?

[Twisted_Twin]

I ran into Stan and Roy at the bike show, lots of stuff but not a whole lot of stuff that interested me.

Lost of "lifestyle gear" available.

I'm up for coffee at Porters if you guys want to go.

Yeah, wherever, Porters, schoolhouse or the Monk. I will check in the AM to see the chosen location.  John.

Porter's it is then

How about back to Coquitlam for coffee on Sunday?

Think we might fire up the bikes and come and join you as we have missed a couple of weeks.  Looks warm by the looks of it on Sunday maybee dust off the Kawasaki and Honda
 tomorrow and cross my fingers for reasonable weather.  I will be able to do a quick weather check by the look of Mrs Wheels face in the morning!
See you one way or the other.

Vibrato's on Schoolhouse it is then

I'm not planning to ride there so the weather should be fine.

I already am getting  that funny look from Mrs Wheels tonight about riding there in the morning on the bikes.  We will likely hop in the horseless carriage and see you in the morniing.  I will try and sneak out for an afternoon ride on the Z1R when she runs to the grocery store,  making up the grocery list now for her!

Where are we having coffee this week guys?  Also, I'm ready for another shop night.  I'm not working tomorrow, so I'll finish getting the head of my Z1 ready for reassembly. 

Gord, I could use your help with reinstalling the valve springs.  How about next Thursday or Friday for a shop night?

I can highly recommend the PJ1 engine paint, at least for now.  We'll see how it stands up.  Application was really good.  Went on evenly with no drips.  Dried very quickly.  Three coats, ten minutes between each.  Looks awesome.  Now I have to grind the fins to match the original Z1.  Progress if being made.

Cheers,
Ross

Hey Ross,

Thursday evening sounds good. In the mean time if you haven't already done so you need to find some assembly lube, Lodco has Lucas brand or Bunaby Kawi should have some Kawi brand.

Ross,

I don't know if the paint you used is too hard but I find it hard to get a factory finish on the fin ends with a grinder.

I use caborundum (black) wet dry paper on a block and sand in one direction. It gives a flatter result and the linear grain. I use a 200 grit but if that looks too fine just use a lower grit number.

Bear,

I hadn't seen your post until after I had already ground off the fins.  Yes, it is difficult to obtain a smooth machined finish.  It would be easier if original cylinders and head were used, as the fins would already be flat on the edges.  Then, using a sanding block would probably work well.  My cylinders and head have never had the fins machined.  A lot of meat needs to be removed to get the pinstripes so sanding is not really an option, it would take forever.  I ended up using a pencil grinder.
